How to Enable Sharing of Course Completion Certificate

Allowing learners to share certificates online isn't just about celebrating achievement — it extends your course’s reach and adds visibility to your training program. ProProfs Training Maker supports the direct sharing of certificates via LinkedIn, Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and more.

Why Enable Social Sharing?

• Extend visibility: Every share acts as proof of your training program’s credibility.

• Promote learning culture: Encourages others within the company or industry to engage with L&D.

• Boost learner motivation: Public recognition increases completion rates and confidence.

• Recruitment advantage: Certificates can double as proof of skills for hiring managers.

Here’s an example of a course completion certificate with social sharing buttons below it:

How to Enable Social Sharing of Course Completion Certificate

Step 1: Go to the General tab under course settings, and enable "Customize Completion Page."

What Learners See

After completing a course, learners get:

• An on-screen certificate with their name, course title, and date

• Share buttons for LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter)

• An Embed option (for blogs, websites, or portfolios)

Why it matters

Many users want their learners to showcase achievements outside the platform — whether to boost job opportunities or highlight internal learning culture. That’s why ProProfs makes it easy to enable social sharing.
